Don’t go in expecting any multi-player features at all though, this is firmly designed as a single-player experience. And, honestly, that works against it. The AI drivers are…quite often complete morons. Completely bunching up, smashing into each other in groups around some corners and so on. If you’re going to make a pure single-player racer, the AI needs to be better than this.
Do you know the name of the settlement/power plant in the distance?
Possibly even right there at Disney World
“Yeah, let’s try it. [Korean-style steak sauce is] not something I’ve made before,” says Mancuso, remembering his script, “so I could definitely use the help.”
Then at the end of the article they embed an Instagram video from 2023 of Mancuso making a Korean-style steak sauce. *chef’s kiss*
I had one years ago (no screen) and won’t again just because of how expensive the repairs were when it broke. The water filter mount (a nice feature when the town switches chlorine every spring) started leaking every time a filter was inserted and replacing it was hundreds of dollars since the warranty had expired. The handle broke off the microwave too over time. They just seemed like crappy quality.
To me that’s an astonishingly low price for what it offers at those screen sizes. I can think of some high end professional monitors at the same sizes that cost more simply for high-fidelity color rendition!
Pre-orders for the largest screen come with a 16-inch model at no additional cost. All variants display images in 9:16 portrait orientation only.
I guess they might be usable for only this purpose, so perhaps somewhat limiting, but for anyone who can use this it sounds like a phenomenal price. I would not be surprised to even see this used at amusement parks.
I can’t remember going to anything besides Godzilla Minus One
Which they mention:
If you look at the exploded x-ray-style animations in Apple’s keynote, you’ll notice something else about the inside of the iPhone Air. The computery parts are all up in that bulge at the top, which Apple calls a “plateau.” Not just the cameras, as we’re used to, but also the SoC and almost everything else.
That makes sense if you want a really thin phone. But it also makes sense if you want to make a foldable phone, which is just two thin phones with a hinge. All the computer guts can go in one little bump, and both sides can be filled with battery.
We still don’t escape physics though. That second half of the phone still has a screen that has to be powered, so the overall battery life is likely to be very similar to that of this year’s Air.
I guess so, since they don’t have their hands on one yet
I take it the playfulness is a good sign for Sandy
The best way to get a long life from a battery is to have a bigger one than you need, and only charge it to around 80% of its capacity. This can increase the overall useful lifetime of the battery significantly—up to 4x in fact. But with a battery running at its limits, like that in the iPhone Air, charging to 80% might mean the difference between lasting through the day, or having to top off the charge to get you over the line.
Apple knows this, which is why it has introduced a new MagSafe battery pack, which takes the claimed max video playback from 27 hours to 40. Of course, this means that you have a battery stuck to the back of your phone, and despite the promise in the keynote that you can still slip the package into a pocket, what’s the point? After all, the entire reason for buying the iPhone Air is that it’s slim and light. If you’re going to use the battery all the time then why not get the 17 Pro, which has better cameras too?
I think this is my first time seeing a Lemmy post show up on the Hacker News feed
I remember when one of the Guitar Hero games was first released for Xbox, they soon had a big problem where lots of guitar peripherals were behaving strangely. I think in the end the whammy bar wasn’t always going to what the sensor read as 100 or 0 or something like that because of weak springs or poor physical fit with the plastic, and in the end the fix was basically to adjust how the values were read in software.
And even crazier to me is The Triangle is expected to pass the Charlotte metro in the next 2 years or so!
It might be changing; my cousin’s kids grew up in the Charlotte area (not all born there) and the younger daughter got married last year and is still in the Charlotte area. She did a year or two at NC State but transferred back to UNC Charlotte and has stayed there ever since. Her older sister has moved around a bit but I think she’s back in the Charlotte area now, too.
Is Newfoundland and Labrador still the butt of jokes in Canada?
I was literally reminded of this The Onion article today:
Horrified Man Suddenly Realizes He’s Putting Down Roots In Charlotte
They’re so tiny, are those quail eggs?
There’s a part of me that would be tempted to buy a Nintendo 64 if I ever found one, just for the authentic experience with Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, and a few others.
The classic tracks usually vary some in newer versions of Mario Kart. Typically I’d say it doesn’t make a difference, mostly cosmetic, but sometimes it’s significant. SNES Rainbow Road is one I’d say is dramatically easier in the remakes, and I’ve seen comparisons showing wholesale changes on others to the extent they’re hardly even the same track. It mostly seems to impact the SNES and GBA tracks, though. Not as many real differences in tracks that were already 3D models.
